Media Admits Washington Gun Law Not Working
From Bearing Arms:
Washington ranks ninth in the country for gun-law strength, according to Everytown for Gun Safety this year, making it one of the strictest states. The Legislature passed a law earlier this year which requires gun owners to report stolen firearms to law enforcement within 24 hours or face a fine of up to $1,000.
Yet despite Washington’s relatively strict gun laws, children are still obtaining guns.
Florida City Council Members May Have To Pay Fines For Enacting Gun Restrictions
From Ammoland:
The five-member Okeechobee, Florida city council and Police Chief Donald Hagan may each be forced to pay $5,000 personally – without using taxpayer dollars – for violating Florida’s powerful preemption statute, which only allows the state legislature to regulate firearms.
As previously reported, the city adopted an illegal ordinance shortly before Hurricane Helene made landfall, which banned the sale of guns and ammunition and prohibited firearm possession in public by anyone other than law enforcement or members of the military.
Florida Will Soon Have Open Carry
From Ammoland:
GOA and Hughes sued State Attorney Thomas Bakkedahl and St Lucie County Sherriff Keith Pearson over the state’s ban on the open carrying of firearms. Florida law bans the practice unless the carrier is engaged in the act of hunting or fishing. All other citizens open carrying a firearm are subject to arrest. Florida is one of the only states in the country not to allow the open carrying of guns. The plaintiffs in the case believe the law is unconstitutional and violates the Second Amendment.
How To Insure Your Firearms
From Guns.com:
Many people assume guns are covered through the personal property clause on their homeowner’s or renter’s policy. You may indeed have some coverage there, but specialty items like guns, jewelry, and collectibles are severely limited. For example, my homeowner’s policy covers only up to $2,500 for loss by theft of firearms. I don’t know about you, but that’s not nearly enough to cover my entire collection.
Depending on the carrier, you can add a rider to your homeowner’s policy, but the coverage remains limited and comes with many exclusions. It is best to purchase a separate policy specifically intended to cover firearms.
Supreme Court To Hear Mexican Gov’t Lawsuit
From Guns.com:
First filed in 2021, the $10 billion suit – supported by no less than a dozen anti-gun states such as Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Illinois – sought to put some of the biggest names in the American gun industry including Barrett, Beretta, Century Arms, Colt, Glock, Ruger, and Smith & Wesson on the hook for the out-of-control narco cartel violence that has plagued Mexico since 2006.
A federal judge tossed the suit in October 2022, citing the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act prevented the claim, but Mexico pushed the issue and appealed to the Massachusetts-based U.S. First Circuit Court, which kept the case alive and handed the issue to a lower court in Boston.
Supreme Court To Take More Gun Cases
From The Truth About Guns:
Among the first issues to be heard is a challenge to the Biden administration’s regulation of “ghost guns” — firearms that can be assembled from parts sold online and are often untraceable due to the absence of serial numbers. On October 8, the court will hear Garland v. VanDerStok, a case that focuses on whether partially assembled firearms sold in kits should be treated as guns under federal law.
